Every mode of care a clinician offers is a claim about mechanism, and those claims are not equally well supported. Evidence-Based Practice 205 works through the interventions a chiropractic practice actually delivers — manual and manipulative therapy, non-articular soft-tissue technique, and manipulation under anesthesia — and asks the same question of each: what does the literature establish about how it works, for whom, and to what measurable effect?
The course does not stop at the modalities that hold up. It applies the same appraisal standard to acupuncture and homeopathy, so a practitioner can explain to a patient, a referring physician or a third-party payer why one intervention sits inside the evidence base and another does not. What comes out of it is a defensible treatment rationale rather than a menu of techniques.
Choose Your Evidence-Based Practice Path — Three Lanes, One Curriculum
The Evidence-Based Practice series is a method curriculum, not a regional one: it runs from how you evaluate a patient, through how you image and document, to how care is delivered and shared. Nine courses, two hours each.
1 · The Clinical Encounter (201–202)
The foundation the rest of the curriculum rests on: how a patient is evaluated, and how that evaluation is recorded so it holds up.
201: Patient Evaluation
202: Documenting Clinical Outcomes
2 · Imaging in Clinical Practice (203–204)
Modality selection, red-flag criteria, interpretation and the medicolegal and radiation-safety standards that govern ordering images in a chiropractic setting.
203: Imaging in Clinical Practice I
204: Imaging in Clinical Practice II
3 · Care Delivery and Collaboration (205–209)
Modes of care, collaborative management by region, and the two regional spine files — where evidence-based method becomes an actual treatment plan. You are here: Evidence-Based Practice 205.
205: Modes of Care
206: Collaborative Care for the Upper Extremities
207: Lower Extremity Collaborative Care
208: Lumbar Spine Management
209: Cervical Spine Management
Every course in the series is 2 PACE-approved CE hours at $40, and the automatic bundle discounts apply across the whole lane.
What You'll Learn in Evidence-Based Practice 205
Evaluate the mechanistic and clinical literature behind manual and manipulative therapy, including spinal manipulation, and state plainly what it does and does not establish.
Select non-articular and soft-tissue approaches — myofascial and related techniques — on the basis of tissue, presentation and documented response rather than habit.
Describe the indications, patient-selection criteria and procedural framework for manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), and recognize the presentations that do not fit it.
Apply one consistent critical-appraisal standard to acupuncture and homeopathy, and communicate the resulting evidence position to patients, referral sources and payers.
Your Evidence-Based Practice Faculty
Monte Horne, DC,instructor of this course — leads the Evidence-Based Practice curriculum through evaluation, documentation, imaging, modes of care and collaborative management (201–207). Founder and CE Program Director of CCEDseminars, a Designated Doctor for the Texas Department of Insurance and a peer reviewer and expert witness, he teaches the evidence-to-encounter translation from the position of someone who has defended records for a living.
Steve Yeomans, DC, FACO,closes the series with the two regional management files, lumbar and cervical spine (208–209), as a Fellow of the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists and author of several authoritative texts on clinical outcomes and orthopedic assessment.

Where Evidence-Based Practice Hours Count — State Rules Worth Knowing
Evidence-based practice coursework is clinical subject matter — evaluation, documentation, imaging, modes of care and collaborative management — which is exactly what several state boards ask for. In Iowa, these hours serve the 36-hour clinical case-management minimum; in Rhode Island, they address the 50-of-60 clinical requirement; and in Vermont — where practice-building coursework earns nothing — patient-care education like this counts fully under the clinical-focus rule.
Online-format allowances still vary by state — some accept every hour online, others cap distance learning or require in-person blocks. Check your state's guide in the full state directory before building your renewal plan.
Build Your Evidence-Based Practice Block
Every course in the Evidence-Based Practice series runs 2 hours at $40, so the automatic discounts do the bundling for you: 6–9 hours in one order earns 10% off, and 10 or more earns 20% off — the full nine-course series is 18 hours at roughly $288 instead of $360, with no promo codes. This course opens the care-delivery lane: 206 Collaborative Care for the Upper Extremities and 207 Lower Extremity Collaborative Care carry the same reasoning into regional management, while 201 Patient Evaluation supplies the examination findings that justify whichever mode you choose.

Evidence-Based Practice 205 — Frequently Asked Questions
What does Evidence-Based Practice 205 cover?
The course surveys the modes of care used in conservative musculoskeletal practice and the evidence behind each: manual and manipulative therapy and its proposed mechanisms, non-articular and soft-tissue technique, and manipulation under anesthesia — then applies the same appraisal standard to acupuncture and homeopathy before turning to how the choice is made and documented in a live clinical encounter.
How many CE hours is this course, and what does it cost?
2 PACE-approved CE hours for $40, or $20 per hour. Ordering 6–9 hours at once takes 10% off automatically and 10 or more takes 20% off — no promo codes.
Does this course teach me to perform manipulation under anesthesia?
No. MUA is covered as a mode of care: indications, patient-selection criteria, the procedural framework and the presentations that do not fit it. Performing MUA requires separate credentialing, facility privileges and, in most states, a specific certification pathway.
Do I need 201 or 202 before taking this course?
No — 205 stands on its own. It does read more usefully after 201 Patient Evaluation, which supplies the examination findings a mode of care is selected from, and 202 Documenting Clinical Outcomes, which supplies the reporting standard that makes the choice defensible later.
Will this course count toward my state CE requirement?
In most states, yes — this is clinical patient-care subject matter, and it is PACE-approved and co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College. Online-format allowances and clinical-hour minimums vary, so check your state guide in the full state directory before you build your renewal plan.
State Approval and Licensing Reminder
Continuing education requirements — including online-hour caps and clinical-hour minimums — vary by jurisdiction. Review the online chiropractic CE guidelines page and contact CCEDseminars with questions about your specific licensing requirements before registering.
